A Blended Approach to the Accounting Information Systems Course

Abstract

Ever-changing technological developments affect decisions within business and accounting programs as to where and how to incorporate technology. This paper focuses on the Accounting Information Systems (AIS) course and the challenges faced in designing a meaningful curriculum. Fundamentally, a key decision is whether to focus on conceptual issues in the AIS field or to concentrate on technology tools students might encounter early in their careers. The solution presented here blends the principles with hands-on practice using current and emerging technologies.
